What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread. - Lemmy.World

I live in a humid climate (especially in the summer), and if we don’t refrigerate our bread and tortillas, or any baked goods, they get moldy in like 4 days.
Well, yes…but 4 day old bread from the fridge is basically inedible as well because of the bad taste.
I’ve never had my bread get stale from being in the fridge for 4 days. You have to leave it in a bag or airtight container.

Then you probably only ever had bad bread to begin with.

Edit: I suspect all the down-votes are from the US/UK who sadly never tasted good bread fresh from the oven it seems.

why are you comparing 4-day-old bread to bread fresh from the oven? wow yeah it really doesn’t compare, what genius observation. what kind of storage makes it as good as fresh bread from the oven, pray tell?

Buy less and only eat fresh 😎

Stale bread, no thanks. Even no bread at all is better than that.

But freezing it and reheating it afterwards also works OK for some types of bread.

Buy less and only eat fresh 😎

But don’t you get it? Here in the US, we can’t do that because we’ve got to drive an hour to the grocery store once a week (or less)! Uphill, both ways, fording rivers and traversing icy mountain passes! Waaah!
